A white Poodle with big dark eyes sits on a sofa beside a black TV remote with its corners chewed away. 8 / 27

The Remote Has Teeth Marks, and the White Poodle Looks Shocked

AI imagepoodlecaught in the acttv remote

The TV remote lies on a knitted blanket with its corners nibbled into crumbly little bites, and next to it sits a white Poodle with wide dark eyes and a slightly open mouth, frozen in a look of pure surprise. His curly coat looks like a fluffy cloud, and a rope toy, a mug, and a pair of slippers sit in the cozy living room behind him. It is the face of a dog who has just realized the remote is not a chew toy.

Poodles are smart, sensitive dogs that learn quickly, and they thrive on having something to do. They often chew on household objects when they are bored or want attention. The TV remote is especially tempting because it carries the smell of the whole family. But remotes are risky for dogs. Plastic pieces can cause a blockage or cut the mouth, and the batteries inside can be dangerous, especially small button batteries, which can cause serious injury. If you think your dog has swallowed a battery or part of a remote, call your vet right away. Keep remotes on a high shelf, and give him a few chew-safe toys. Training sessions and short games keep a Poodle busy and happy.

Whatever the remote was going to say, he already has his answer. The channel is stuck, but the cuteness is on at full volume.
